These include Health Innovation Manchester and one of the largest National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) portfolios in the country. MFT now sees opportunity for development of private care activity as a fundamental component of financing future growth and attracting world class clinicians.  We are now exploring opportunities to expand private care services across the Trust.

MFT is open to a range of partnership models – from contractual arrangements to corporate joint ventures – that will optimise our private patient offer, bring further innovation and investment, and which can deliver mutual value and sustainable growth.

                "description": "MFT is a regional and national centre of excellence in certain specialist areas and can attract patients from much further afield, including international patients. Research and Innovation activity is conducted across all our Clinical Groups supported by our integrated Research Office, Clinical Delivery and Operational Management teams, Innovation services, and MFT-hosted organisations. These include Health Innovation Manchester and one of the largest National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) portfolios in the country. MFT now sees opportunity for development of private care activity as a fundamental component of financing future growth and attracting world class clinicians.  We are now exploring opportunities to expand private care services across the Trust. Our consultants are already actively engaged, ensuring that any development is clinically driven and fully aligned with our patient care priorities. With the right partners, MFT is well positioned to scale up its private care activities by leveraging our infrastructure, specialist expertise, and operational capacity. This market engagement aims to identify interest from regional, national and international hospital operators who share our vision. MFT is open to a range of partnership models – from contractual arrangements to corporate joint ventures – that will optimise our private patient offer, bring further innovation and investment, and which can deliver mutual value and sustainable growth. The purpose of the market engagement is for MFT to understand what types of partnership would be attractive to different potential partners – range of delivery, investment and commercial structures available - such that we can design a procurement process which is likely to lead to the best long-term outcomes for all parties.\nOrganisations interested in engaging in \nthis early market dialogue are invited \nto submit a completed short Expression \nof Interest (EOI) on the form provided \nwhich includes:\n• Overview of your organisation and \nrelevant experience for the delivery \nof private practice care, including \nany involvement in public sector \npartnerships;\n• Indicative thoughts on potential \npartnership models or innovations;\n• Confirmation of investment \ncapability and capacity; \n• Approach to Clinical Governance and \nQuality Assurance; and \n• Contact details for follow-up \ndiscussions.\nWe have set out a list of topics aligning, \nbut not limited to, the EOI in the \nsupporting information for potential \npartner organisations to consider. \nThis is a preliminary engagement \nexercise designed to gather insight \nand test feasibility before any formal \nprocurement. It will help inform our \nbusiness case and plans but will not \nin any way influence the outcome for \nfuture tender opportunities. \nAt this stage, no commitment is being \nmade by the Trust to procure any \nservices, and no funding or contractual \narrangements are in place.\nThe Trust is utilising its e-tendering \nportal Atamis for this process. \nInterested suppliers must register with \nthe e-tendering Portal which can be \naccessed online at https://healthfamily.force.com/s/Welcome.
